Dear Lord Baby Jesus... please let #16 be an Unseen. Thank you for all your power and grace, dear baby god. Amen.

I suppose I ought to make a second post stating that the Annihilator was not my first choice, but quite a logical one. The Cyclops was since it seems to see a fair bit of use in the mechwarrior universe, and since it has the the gadgets that it does (ECM and whatnot). Could go right alongside the Raven when they add that.

[Suprentus]

I think it's going to be this one.

I've posted before why I think it will be the Annihilator. It fits the assault class spot, existed in the timeline, gives us a ballistic filled chassis, and makes use of the LB-10x, which isn't on any other mech by default, and would also rival the Atlas.

3 words: Wolf Dragoons only.

So, we know that 'Mech 16 is being withheld for marketing purposes. Hmmm...
It sounds as though it would be something they would expect - and hope - to send massive ripples of awe through the MWO playerbase (and the press).
IMO, the 'Mechs that could maximize that effect are few and far between.

Given that, here are a few new guesses on my part:

• An Assault-class IS Unseen/Reseen - specifically, the BattleMaster (pretty much the icon of CBT right now, as it is featured priminently on the covers of Total Warfare and TechManual, the box art of the CBT Introductory Box Set, and the current CBT logo) or Longbow or Marauder II
  
• One of the more-popular, non-Assault-class IS Unseen/Reseen - specifically, a Marauder or Warhammer (arguably featured on the cover of the 25th Anniversary Introductory Box Set... though, I think it looks more like a Hammerhands than a Warhammer ) or Shadow Hawk
  
• A Wolfhound, presented with grainy pictures/footage along with one or more "alien-looking, powerful, and as-yet-unknown 'Mechs"
  
• The ever-popular UrbanMech

Your thoughts?

Since they have been holding out on us for aboot a month now, I'd like to assume it's because they are stockpiling several pieces of concept art to blow our skulls open. So... quite possibly, not one, not two, but perhaps a whole fistful of Unseen.

Or an Urbanmech. Because the Devs are wonderfully evil.

[Banekane]

the urbanmech is all a deception they want us to let our guard down so when they announce 16 it will be like a earthquake, Tsunami, Huricane, tornado, Volcano, flood, wildfire, Comet/asteroid impact, and Armageddon hit your brain

Zeus first ones came off the production line in 2411, the 2 prototypes saw battle in 2410, was blueprinted in 2407.
Personally assault mechs I think are most likely:
Zeus, Victor, or Highlander (if forced to guess I'd wager on the Victor because of its loadouts and distictiveness compared to others)
Long stretch mech i'd like to see:
King Crab

I'm more interested in heavies of this era though and waiting with baited breath for more of them. (fingers crossed for Warhammer)

Your dates are mistaken, although I understand why, it was *redacted* messing with the data. Check out Sarna.net for more info ;-)

Nah, Flee is too hardcore for the assault spot.

[Banekane]

wait thats the flea i thought it was a Imperial Walker from Star Wars i think there is a mistake in there somewhere

[Suprentus]

It is the Imperial Walker from Star Wars. It's possible Adridos got them mixed up, but I think he was really making a joke about how their designs look so similar.

You know Cappies always think they're i.n A universe where they have some importance lol

[Dreamslave]

I don't think it's going to be number 16.

Mauler won't be in the game 'till mech #100.

Odanan, your words on these forums are pretty accurate.
However, I disagree with you on this one. We shall see the Mauler relatively soon.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

Nothing against the Mauler. Its a fine and good looking mech, but a jump capable assaultmech like Highlander or Victor would be better.
